Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 1717 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1717 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

1717 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 1717 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 1017.2946868259 kt

The final result is:

1717 ft/s → 1017.2946868259 kt

We conclude that 1717 feet per second is equivalent to 1017.2946868259 knots:

1717 feet per second = 1017.2946868259 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.00098299933436211 × 1717 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1717 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00098299933436211 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand seven hundred seventeen feet per second is approximately one thousand seventeen point two nine five knots:

1717 ft/s ≅ 1017.295 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand seven hundred seventeen feet per second.
